This is one of my favorite dates. It’s unique,
creative, inexpensive, and pretty easy. Ideally, you’ll have a clean kitchen,
the table, carving utensils, cutting boards, big metal bowls, and picnic cloth
(optional) all ready to go. I usually put on some light background music and
then just talk to my date while we carve. With all of the good fruit scraps,
remember to set them aside in the bowls to put into the smoothies. After you
finish carving I usually take pictures of our carvings for a fun memory to look
back on. Then we normally chop up our fruit, put it into the blender (with the
other good fruit scraps and anything else we want to put into the smoothies)
and make smoothies!

Honestly, the dating culture is lame. More than lame, it’s dangerous. Do you realize there is a connection between your dating practices and the successful transition into marriage? Way too many newlyweds have significant struggles in large part because of their poor dating practices. In addition, too many women go through their entire college experience without being asked on a single date. Too many men never ask anyone out because of a paralyzing fear of rejection. Have we gotten to the point where we can say that enough is enough? If you feel this way, we have an invitation for you.

There are a lot of issues that complicate our dating culture. Over the course of the next few semesters, we are going to highlight these issues and propose ways to address them. We want to discuss your concerns, so send us your questions through our Facebook page. We hope you will begin to challenge some of the ineffective and unhealthy dating practices in your own life. We hope you will help and encourage those around you to do the same. Take a moment to read our first challenge: #justadate

Our team here at BYU I Do recognizes that there are many people who seek strong, healthy relationships but simply don’t know how to achieve them. There are others who understand the “how” and get frustrated because it seems as though nobody else is on board. We are excited to join together in this common goal as we share research based education coupled with tips and tricks. We invite you to share what you learn, but more importantly… live it!
